Election to represent the Assembly on the Senate

Nominations are invited for three members of the Assembly to serve as representatives of the Assembly on the Senate for a three year period from 1 September 2013 to 31 August 2016. The vacancies have occurred due to the expiry of the terms of appointments for Professor C Dowson, Dr C Jenainati and Dr D Roper.

The Assembly is constituted of a significant number of academic, research and administrative staff of the University.

Only two of the members of the Assembly appointed to Senate may be of professorial status. As none of the continuing representatives of the Assembly serving on the Senate are of professorial status, two of the three new appointees can be Professors of the University.

Nominations

Nominations must be proposed and seconded by members of the Assembly and have the written consent of the nominee. Nominations should be forwarded to the Assistant Secretary of the Senate, Roberta Wooldridge Smith, on behalf of the Registrar, by Tuesday 30 April 2013.

If more than three nominations are received, an election by postal ballot will be held on 14 May 2013, in accordance with Regulation 2.3.

If an election is held, ballots and further guidance will be distributed by email to all members of the Assembly on 3 May 2013 and will need to be received by the Senate Support Team no later than 5pm on 14 May 2013 to be valid.
